Reuters: Rebels kill 74 in Ethiopia oil field raid
Excerpt:
"Eritrea denied the charge. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman condemned the attack, which he said involved more than 200 gunmen.
In a statement, the ONLF said it attacked Ethiopian soldiers guarding an oil exploration field in Northern Ogaden region.
"The oil facility has been completely destroyed," it said, adding that government forces in the area had been "wiped out, with many surrendering to ONLF commandos".
"The ONLF has stated on numerous occasions that we will not allow the mineral resources of our people to be exploited by this regime or any firm.""
